They have to do this in the dark, it won't withstand the light of day, but if they have the votes, they WILL do it.
Do you know what your next move after that is going to be? Basically, you can pay like a good little sheep, or...not pay. Merry Christmas. |

Start your own group, network with your friends and family and mobilize your own non-violent resistance movement. This is how history is made and atrocious regimes overthrown or stopped dead in their tracks. Think outside the box. |

If they pass this the benefits won't start for 4 years, but you know the hospitals will be clogged with people trying to get their free shit.

I'm pretty sure this bill is dead in the water. The one vote they need now is Nelson. Calling the vote in the middle of the night does not give them any sort of advantage. Dems need every single member in their seats, including Nelson. Doesn't matter if no-voters are even in the building. |

That's right, roll over and take it. On the other hand you could start recruiting challengers to the both of them. Feinstein is up for reelection in 2006. Boxer is up for reelection in the midterms (2010), and she is more vulnerable than you apparently care to admit. Roll over. |

Yep. Call him and remind his staff that the voters of Nebraska will blame HIM for them being forced to pay for abortions. Also remind his staff that HIS OWN PARTY'S PRESIDENT cares more about federal funding for abortions than he does about the jobs of 10,000 Nebraska voters working at Offutt Air Force Base which Obama threatened to close if Senator Nelson doesn't get back on the Democrat Plantation. |

I was under the impression it could not move ahead until the CBO released the markup of the bill, which may happen tomorrow.
Let's see. Byrd or Rockefeller. Both will vote YES even if every single West Virginian called them. |

Quoted: Hmmm... Which one is more likely to be swayed by my phone call- Feinstein, or Boxer? You're thinking inside the box. Call them up and take Howard Dean's line. Tell them that it isn't good enough. Without the public option the bill is worthless and just helps the insurance industry since it forces us to buy from them. Tell them it helps nobody and they shouldn't vote for it. |
